Case Study: Alexander Forbes improves monitoring performance and reporting with SquaredUp

Alexander Forbes gives 40+ users faster dashboards with SquaredUp

Alexander Forbes, a South African financial services organization, faced performance and functionality limitations with their previous SCOM dashboarding tool, Savision LiveMaps. Their IT monitoring team, led by Mohammed Sahib, needed a single-pane-of-glass solution that was quick, easy to use, and feature-rich to centralize their view of networking, APM, and event monitoring components. This led them to seek a new vendor, SquaredUp.

By implementing SquaredUp, Alexander Forbes achieved significantly improved dashboard performance and gained the ability to view long-term performance data for up to a year without impacting their SQL database. The solution provided more functionality, including the ability to export data, compare SQL performance counters, and execute agent tasks. The SquaredUp dashboard is now consumed by 40+ end-users who benefit from its user-friendly designer and precise enterprise application monitoring (EAM) reporting.
